Benefits of technology

[0022]The present invention provides oxygen storage oxide nanoparticles, which have a very high specific surface area even after high-temperature calcinations, and thus exhibit superior thermal stability, compared to conventional OSC materials. Since the metal oxide of the present invention is synthesized through a high-temperature and high-pressure continuous process, the crystal size thereof is on the nano scale, and the crystallinity is very high. Further, during the synthesis through the method of the present invention, the thermal stability of cerium oxide itself is increased, which is believed to be due to the introduction, deposition or solution of some of the aluminum to lattices of cerium oxide. Therefore, unlike the simple mixture of cerium oxide and aluminum oxide, the particle size of the metal oxide of the present invention can be more stable and the specific surface area thereof can be less decreased even upon exposure at high temperatures, resulting in superior thermal stability.

Problems solved by technology

Although the three way catalyst causes carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons, or nitrogen oxide (NOx) to be highly converted in a very narrow range of air-to-fuel ratio of about 14.6, it is disadvantageous in that the conversion is drastically decreased in a range falling outside of the above air-to-fuel ratio.
However, the three way catalyst for the purification of exhaust gas of vehicles is inevitably exposed to high temperatures.
In such a case, cerium oxide suffers because it has a drastically decreased specific surface area and a greatly increased crystal size, attributable to the fusion of pores or sintering of crystals, and furthermore, oxygen storage capacity and oxygen mobility are lowered, that is, thermal stability is decreased.
However, this method is disadvantageous because the used alkali hydroxide is difficult to completely remove.
As such, [Ce0.8Zr0.2O2]*[0.4Al2O3] prepared in Example E7 has a specific surface area of 129 m2 / g, but has a specific area of 82 m2 / g after calcination at 650° C. for 4 hours, and therefore the thermal stability thereof is considered insufficient.
